Hey-
I want to use a function like tellTarget when I rollOver the buttons on a infinate menu. I’m not using tellTarget, although, I’ve tried. I’m using (for instance) -
\_root.message.gotoAndPlay(2);
‘message’ is on the main stage. Does it need to be somewhere different to use with an infinate menu?

When assigning an instance name ALWAYS be sure to click on the stage afterwards, otherwise the instance name decides not to take effect. I have had problems with that.
